I’m Andrea—a writer, editor and educator based in San Francisco’s East Bay.

I’m an Editor for Brevity Blog—the place to discuss issues related to the writing of literary nonfiction. With an essay collection in the works, I’m devoting more time to my own writing, but I still teach cnf, essay and how to submit to lit mags on a variety of platforms. I’ve love working with writers one-on-one but I’ve put my editorial services on hiatus for a minute—while I get down to writing!

I write a bi-weekly column about the ins and outs of submitting your work and offer a free co-working session called Submit It Now! with the folks at Chill Subs on the first Wednesday of each month. The next session is October 7, 2026. Learn more and register here.

That’s me in a couple paragraphs—dig into the website for more details.

Things I Love:

• Personal essays! Which I write about on my Substack: Everything Essay!

• Swimming. Hiking. Baking Bread. My Cat. East Bay hills. Sunflowers.
